Default Does adding an exhaust need a tune?

In the next few days I will be picking up a CAI and SCT tuner combo form Bama Chips. My next mod in a few month from now will be a dual exhaust. Will I need to retune again at this point?

I havent decided on what to go with yet. Any suggestions would be great. Im looking for HP gain and sound. When I say sound I dont mean over the top annoy the neighbors sound, but a nice deep roar that makes women cream when they hear it

i believe this is ford racing's dual exhaust kit. for a v6, it sounds very nice imo... don't know how loud it is

the guys in the v6 section should be able to help you a lot better with what exhaust sounds best on your stang. not sure what would be best on the v6. when i had my 06 v6 i put a single flowmaster on it and loved it. but with my gt i have frpp stingers.
